English abstract:
We consider the transfer of a chaser vehicle to a space station using impulsive control with minimal fuel consumption. It is assumed that the space station moves on a circular Keplerian orbit in a rotational symmetric gravitational field and that the chaser vehicle has already reached the station´s orbital plane. The vehicle is steered by impulsive burns of the rockets. The problem is solved numerically using Pontryagin´s maximum principle for impulsive controls by a multiple shooting method and a continuation procedure to study the variation of the optimal control strategy for varying time constraints. The problem is studied using a local linearized system and the fully nonlinear system using local Cartesian and polar coordinates.
